What were you doing on you knees?
Or perhaps the question should be who? I suppose you gotta pay the rent somehow.

years and years of cycling. They used to be 29"-30" around, but they shrunk down to 28" or so since I picked up motorcycles a few years back.

Go on Darren keep on the jokes. I'll let yall have ur fun. Then I'll tell the story or maybe puckhead will if he gets on his thread.

Henry, you mountain bike? NICE... We should plane a ride sometime - already talked about organizing some "chair-lift-assisted" rides up at Copper or Keystone this season. You up for it?

Ok, here's what happened. We were in a huge group heading east on platte. There were SOOOO MANY damn temp plates looming around. (SCARY!) Well I usually ride up front because experience has shown that the back is the WORST place to ride in a group when it comes to cops. Well, all night these damn newbys and ever since it got even slightly warm, they'll like cut people off and zoom ahead to like jocky for front or something stupid. All I know is, I was 3 row from front on the right, and enjoying those short steep humps in the road where the cross street goes across. Anyways, the guys that have been riding a while know to keep a distance front and back. Here's where I goofed up. My buddy, an experienced rider w/ his new CBR1000 w/ >200 miles was in front of me. I get to the last hump in the road and I'm cruising at maybe 20-25 mph a decent distance behind my buddy. Well I was go over that last hump and I give it a quick throttle blip on the way up for a cool weighless feeling then drop when it rolls down the back side. Anyways, I blip on the front face and like right as my front wheel touches the crest, (bike gets unweighted, front wheel especially) the cbr and who ever was in front him went to nearly a DEAD stop for no apparent reason! WTF?!?!?!? So I grab front brake instantly and just as fast as I grabbed brake, it tucked to the right and I dumped it on the left. All I could see was a cbr1000 rear wheel getting closer and closer. I slide on my chest for about 10-15 feet with minor damage to myself and my jacket while the bike like bounced off the tall curb on the right off the tires, while slding on it's side. What ran through my mind the moment I kissed asphalt was "Oh sh!t all these new guys behind me! Must get up and run!" So I scrambled as fast as I could as the bikes that passed me rolled around me on both edges of the lane. I jumped up and tried to get the bike up and running as fast as I could but the wheels managed to crawl up ontop of that tall curb. Resulting in damage to the fairings above the location of the slider. So someone, not sure who, helped me pull if off the curb, and fired up. I was on the ground on my stomach sliding to riding down the street in a VERY short amount of time. The riders in the back never even knew what happened and they never even stopped! I was too much in a rush to get it going and off the ground. Lost a left mirror though. No one else got involved, just myself so got lucky. They said I got up in perfect timing since a cop car drove by in the opposite direction a second after I got rolling. Most everyone one who rolled past me to avoid me didn't even get a chance to stop because I was already riding past them. So that was my crash for the month, hopefully year.

:lol: Yeah, I gotta admit, you go down with more style than anyone else I know bro. You went down and bounced right up like a rubber ball and it was over with in seconds! I'm pretty sure I got you beat in the ouch department though this time.....
